Re: [Asterisk-Users] Mission-Critical Deployments
John, why don't you migrate slowly to asterisk ? If you want to keep most of your analog phone hardware, leave it on your Meridian 1. The M1 is doing a good job on features on analog phone sets. Also, your users are familiar with the call handling of the M1. Install VoIP phones on Asterisk and connect Asterisk via PRI to the M1. Then you can replace step by step your phones.

A quad port T1 gives you 96 channels, all can be used for analog stations. which means you will need at least 2 quad t1 cards. I personaly like the Adit 600 for this job. We did a smaller PBX... 40 extensions, 20 outgoing modems for polling distant equipment. We have a 6mb incoming internet connection with no QOS or VLAN work done. We used, and I'm happy with, the Audiocodes MP124 for analog extensions. Rock solid, presents a SIP interface to Asterisk. Store configs on a tftp server. We even do outgoing modem calls over the MP124. Haven't played with fax yet. We bought used Cisco 7960s from VoipSupply for the sets. Got 40 good ones - no returns. I wrote some scripts that allow me to rebuild extensions.conf, sip.conf, voicemail.conf and the Cisco .cfg files from a few flat file tables that can be maintained in excel (or vi :) I want to go to Realtime for those config files, so I can do a small PHP app and offload the add, move, change feature. We ported our block of 100 DIDs from SBC to Level3 (we are direct connected to L3) for VoIP delivery. Also ported a few 800 numbers. Wrote two IVRs for answering the two 800 numbers, and also for callers who transfer out of voicemail. We also have a channelized T1 for a specialized application. Terminated it in a TE410. We run the PBX on a Dell 1850. Two power supplies, UPS, Raid 1, Fedora Core 3, Asterisk 1.2beta1 (gonna upgrade soon). No significant complaints. Is it mission critical? Well, if it goes south, 35 angry people and about 10 million in annual sales will be impacted. (Also, children will not get their ice cream -- one of the businesses is ice cream distribution :) It's critical to MY mission as their consultant that they be happy, so I guess it is. The server load average doesn't even get off the peg. I would not hesitate to put another 200 extensions on it.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Mission-Critical Deployments
I disagree with PaulH on this one. Cheap IP phones makes for *cheap* phone, cheap sound, and cheap features. The cheapest IP phone you can get will come to around $60.00 USD, which multiplied by 150 makes $9,000.00. While a channel bank (ADIT 600) with 6 FXS cards (48 ports) runs around $1200.00 multiplied by 3 (3 * 48 = 144 the closest I can get without overbuying) makes for $3600.00, each QuadT1 card runs around $1,500.00 or $2,500.00 with echo can, multiplied by 2 makes $5,000.00 at the most, Total = $8,600.00 at the most, and you already have the phones, and I'm telling you that it will be cheaper. Also, you might have to rerun wiring for VoIP, beside the fact that for cheap VoIP phones you don't get POE, which also means you need outlets where you are going to put phones, as well as in featurewise; you can do much more in the DP with ananlog phones (or VoIP since it's in the DP), then *any* VoIP phone under $100.00 can do without the DP, and even a Cisco or Polycom cannot do much without some fancy programming from the phone itself with no DP.

[Asterisk-Users] Mission-Critical Deployments
I work for a company that is nearing the end-of-life on its existing Nortel Meridian switch and is considering Asterisk. We have approximately 200 existing extensions, and probably 150 out of those 200 are using basic analog phones and would stay that way. The rest would have VOIP phones at the desk. We're seriously considering switching to Asterisk. I've done quite a bit of tinkering with Asterisk for my home, but I'm not certain about a few aspects of how we might deploy Asterisk in the enterprise. Here are my questions: 1. Where could I look for some resources on server sizing? Is it any problem to support this number of users with a single server? 2. What do we need to do for our data network to make VOIP reliable?

Not a problem at all, just make sure you have as much redundancy as possible in the server (RAID, Dual Power Supply, etc.). 2. What do we need to do for our data network to make VOIP reliable?
